Abstract

The study focused on Constraints to the Adoption of Ergonomic Principles Needed by Garment Workers in their Garment Industry in South-eastern  Nigeria. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population consist of 267 garment workers drawn from the 19 registered garment companies in South-eastern Nigeria. Structured and validated questionnaire on Constraint to the Adoption of Ergonomic Principles Needed by Garment Workers in their Garment Industry in South-eastern  Nigeria was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t- test. The findings showed that major factors mitigating against the adoption of ergonomic principles by garment workers include ignorance about the long-term effect of occupational injury, lack of training skill and experience on ergonomics, nonchalant attitude towards one’s health among others. Strategies for enhancing the adoption of the needed ergonomic principles include public enlightenment through radio, television, talk show, billboards etc., organizing seminar and workshops for grass root awareness on ergonomic principles among others. Based on the finding of the study, it was recommended that the identified strategies for enhancing the adoption of the needed ergonomic principles should be utilized to ensure grassroots awareness and sensitization on the obvious benefits of this proactive healthcare measures for a deep and far-reaching result.

尼日利亚东南部服装业工人采用人体工程学原则的制约因素
本研究的重点是尼日利亚东南部服装行业的服装工人采用人体工程学原则的制约因素。本研究以两个研究问题和一个假设为指导。研究采用了描述性调查研究设计。研究对象包括来自尼日利亚东南部 19 家注册服装公司的 267 名服装工人。在收集数据时,使用了经过结构化和验证的调查问卷,内容是尼日利亚东南部服装行业的服装工人采用人体工程学原则的制约因素。采用平均值、标准差和 t 检验对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明,影响服装工人采用人体工程学原理的主要因素包括:对职业伤害的长期影响一无所知、缺乏人体工程学方面的培训技能和经验、对自身健康的不重视等。促进采用所需的人体工程学原则的策略包括通过广播、电视、脱口秀、广告牌等进行公共启蒙,组织研讨会和讲习班以提高基层对人体工程学原则的认识等。根据研究结果,建议利用已确定的促进采用所需的人体工程学原则的战略,确保提高基层对这一积极保健措施的明显益处的认识和敏感性,以取得深远的效果。
